Thomas Edison Flipbooks set of 4

  Set of four flipbooks showing seven experimental film sequences shot by the Edison Laboratories in the earliest days of motion pictures. Each book is printed with a sequence on both sides of each page, so that flipping the book from front to back will show you one movie, and from back to front will show you another one. The books are a large 3 x 5 inches. Except where we felt there is historical value, all the images of the sequences have been painstakingly edited to present as clear an image as possible. Each book comes with historical insights by Charles Musser of Yale University, who has written extensively about Edison’s work and is the world’s most widely respected contemporary Edison scholar. The flipbooks included in this set: ► Sneeze flipbook 1894. This flipbook shows one of the first copyrighted film sequences on record. It has one sequence presented in its original unedited form, and on opposite pages there is a "cleaned up" sequence with the majority of scratches and dust
